s are known to have anything to do with breast cancer. The possible but unproven additional coronary benefit from drinking wine (red or white) may be related to favorable drinking patterns common among wine drinkers or to the favorable traits of wine drinkers, as evidenced by other United States and Danish studies," Klatsky said.

Klatsky said that all medical advice needed to be personalized to the individual. "Our findings provide more evidence for why heavy drinkers should quit or cut down."

The Kaiser Permanente research group has been involved in studies of alcohol drinking and health for more than three decades, including in the area of heart disease. Kaiser Permanente is uniquely positioned to conduct such research because investigators have access to data about a large, multi-ethnic population with a variety of drinking habits.
